Business mogul Trey Osborne has money, power, and worst of all, a desire to beat all of his competitors at anything and everything. When an enterprising con artist offers him a way to show up John Frye, his chief business rival, Osborne leaps at the chance. She brings Sam and Rachel into the mix, and the pair suddenly find themselves in a battle of money and wits amidst the world of stolen artwork. Compared to Osborne, they may lack money, but the pair has survived for decades on their wits.

As the winding path of this con takes them from the wealthiest parts of Minneapolis to the secret places of an international airport and ultimately to the deserted woods of Canada, one thing remains constant throughout—the stakes have never been higher.

This novella launches the Fourth Season of the ongoing anthology “A Grifter’s Song,” created and edited by Frank Zafiro and published by Down and Out Books.
